Large, Wine-Dark Hybrid Berry on Trailing Canes
Pollination
Self-fertile.
Loganberry plants produce large, wine-dark hybrid berries on vigorous trailing canes — assorted nursery stock.
Trailing habit — install a trellis or fence before planting. Self-fertile.
The loganberry is a classic hybrid between a blackberry and a raspberry, bred for large, flavourful fruit on productive trailing canes. This plant suits gardeners who want generous harvests for jams and baking.
Loganberries need full sun, good drainage and a sturdy support system. They perform well across most of South Africa where other cane fruits succeed.
Assorted nursery cultivar.
Long, conical dark red to purple berries, larger than most raspberries. Rich, slightly tart flavour — excellent for jams, pies and fresh eating.
Mid to late summer.
First meaningful crop often in year two.
Vigorous trailing canes — provide trellis or wire support. Can spread 2–3m.
Yes, in large pots with strict winter pruning and support.
Full sun for best flavour and yield.
Regular water while canes and fruit are developing.
Hardy once established. Protect young plants from severe frost.
Moderate winter chill suits most SA climates.
Self-fertile — one plant produces fruit.
Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost. Berries establish quickly when watered regularly during the first summer.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced organic fertiliser or pelletised manure — avoid heavy nitrogen, which pushes leaf growth at the expense of fruit.
Mulch to keep roots cool and moist, keeping mulch away from the stem or crown to prevent rot.
Prune according to habit: trailing and hybrid berries need winter tidying and support; bush types benefit from removing old canes after fruiting.
